• Ensure that all users read this guide before operating the hoist.

• Do not operate the Overhead Hoist without training in the safe operation of the hoist and slings.

• Only use slings which have been assessed as suitable by a trained person.

• Read the relevant Sling User Guide, which is provided with each sling. It explains in detail how to use slings correctly.

• Do not use the hoist if there is any doubt about wear to the carry bar or there is fraying or stitchdamage to the lifting tape or slings, or if the hoistitself is damaged in any way.

• Before using the hoist for the first time ensure the batteries are fully charged (Battery models only).

• Do not exceed the Maximum load of the hoist. W, WB, WL, WLB models 130kgs (20 stone) WT, WLT, WTB, WLTB models 200kgs (31 stone) • Ensure when the hoist is in use that the surrounding area is clear and the person being lifted is clear of all objects.

• Hoists should only be used to lift vertically. Lifting at an angle will wear the lifting tape prematurely.

• Do not leave a user unattended in the sling.

Safety

When using the Overhead Hoist

Safety Considerations

Intended Use of the ProductThe Wispa hoist has been designed to lift and transfer a disabled person with the help of a carer. It should be used with a Wispa sling or other lifting accessories from the Chiltern Invadex range, as assessed by a trained person.

Note: Not all slings and accessories are compatible with this hoist. If you are unsure please contact Chiltern Invadex (UK) Limited.

The correct and appropriate use of this product will reduce the risks associated with manual patient handling. The lifting/transferring task should be assessed and planned by a trained person.

User Guide

After use

Chiltern Invadex (UK) Limited strongly recommend that hoists and related products are not used independently.

Under some circumstances it may be appropriate for the person being lifted or transferred to control the operation themselves; however it is recommended that this should always be whilst accompanied by an appropriately trained person.

The latest version of the hoisting standard ISO 10535:2006 makes the follow-ing statement;

Clause 7.6 “When a hoist is to be used by a disabled person living on their own, then some form of communication device shall be installed in the area of use of the hoist so that in the event of an emergency the disabled person is able to summon assistance.

NOTE This may, for example, be the fitting of an alarm system or the supply of a conveniently placed telephone etc.”

It is ultimately the responsibility of the user and healthcare professionals to make the necessary assessment of risk where independent use of the system is required.

• Return the hoist to the charging position when not in use (Battery models only).

• The outer case, mechanical parts and track should only be removed by a qualified service engineer.

• Do not touch any of the moving parts in the hoist unit or in the track. Contact Chiltern Invadex for assistance.

• Take care when attaching or removing a sling as the carry bar could cause injury if the user is hit in the face.

• Do not try and lift using the emergency lowering device as this can damage the hoist.

Powered Traverse Models

• For maximum comfort, always move the user in one movement and avoid stop/starting the hoist. Some occupants are reassured if the carer holds them whilst the hoist is traversing.

User Guide

Four Button Hand Control used on ‘Wispalong’ Hoist ModelsThe four button handset is used to control the raising and lowering of the carry bar and the powered traversing along the ceiling track on Wispalong models. The traversing function is controlled by the or buttons, on the handset. The buttons are colour coded with blue and yellow. These colourscorrespond to the blue and yellow direction travel arrows on the underside of the hoist case.

To control the direction of the hoist, view the coloured direction arrows mounted on the hoist and press the button on the hand control which corresponds in colour to the arrow on the hoist.

The hoist must be moved away from the charging point at the end of the track before the lifting and lowering functions will operate.

Six Button Hand Control used on X-Y ModelsThe 6 button hand control has the same function buttons as the four button hand control, with the addition of the tracking for the X-Y system.

The tracking X-Y function is controlled by the bottom buttons on the handset. The buttons are colour coded with red and green. These colours correspond to the red and green direction travel arrows on the underside of the track ends.

To control the direction of the hoist, view the coloured direction arrows mounted on the hoist and track ends and press the button on the hand control which corre-sponds in colour and direction to the arrows.

Emergency LoweringIn the unlikely event of a power failure or hoist mal-function the hoist occupant may be lowered using the emergency lowering cord.

To operate, pull the white cord gently until 2 clicks are heard/felt. The occupant will then be slowly lowered.

In certain circumstances the cord may need to be pulled more gently for just one click, to lower the occu-pant. If this occurs refer to the troubleshooting guide on page 9.

Do not try and lift using the emergency lowering device as this can damage the hoist.

Reset ProcedureOnce the emergency stop or overload device have been activated, the hoist will need to be reset.

To reset slide the plastic tube on the red cord upwards through the hole in the case and push to reset the switch.

The hoist should now operate normally.

Please Note: The emergency lowering device uses a PP3 battery to allow the occupant of the hoist to be lowered in the event of an emer-gency. Frequent testing of this device in non-emergency situations will quickly discharge the battery. The battery should be renewed at each service and after use.

Charging Wispa Battery HoistsWhen not in use it is VERY important to return Wispa Battery hoists to the end of the track where the charging unit for the batteries is housed. To engage the hoist with the charger, simply push or traverse the hoist to the end of the track. Correct engagement is signalled when the charging light glows green. Once the hoist is engaged, charging is automatic. No further actions are required to charge the batteries. The batteries cannot be overcharged. When the Hoist is on charge the lifting and lowering functions will not operate, unless pre-set software is enabled - contact the sales office for further information.

Battery Low Indicator Light (Wispa Battery Hoists Only)

The battery low indicator light will glow red when the hoist’s batteries are in need of charging. This is unlikely to happen unless the hoist is used for long periods of time (approximately 60 lifts) without charging, or the hoist has not been properly ‘parked’ in its charger, to recharge the batteries. SHould the light flash red, batteries are critically low and the hoist should eb returned to the charging dock immediately.

Warning Buzzer (Wispa Battery Hoists Only)

If the battery low warning buzzer sounds, then the batteries need recharging before use. Overload Reset

This device safeguards the hoist against overload, the connection between the power supply and the control unit is deliberately broken to prevent the safe working load of the unit being exceeded. Should the hoist not respond to the handset controls and the the buzzer sounds three times, the hoist has been overloaded. The reset procedure on page 6 will need to be performed to resume normal hoist function.

If the hoist fails to respond contact Chiltern Invadex or your supplier.

Servicing and maintenanceISO10535 requires that all equipment used to lift people must be fully serviced, including a load test, at least every 12 months. The frequency of servicing should be increased in areas where the environment or heavy usage may cause deterio-ration of the equipment. Chiltern Invadex recommend that in these circumstances hoists are serviced every 6 months. An orange indicator light will show on the hoist when a service is due.

In addition to servicing, the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) require 6 six monthly inspections of any device and accessories (including slings) which is used as work equipment. This includes in a private home where a carer is employed.

Additional services and LOLER inspections should be carried out where the scheme has been unused for long periods or subject to modification.

Chiltern Invadex and its Authorised Dealers are able to carry out all aspects of servicing and maintenance work. Maintenance of this equipment should only be conducted by engineers trained and certified by Chiltern Invadex.

Keep the service record (at the back of this booklet) up to date.

DO NOT USE IF:

1. There is any damage to the hoist. 2. There is fraying or stitch damage to the lifting tape, or slings.

To ensure maximum cleanlinessWipe with a dry cloth (track and hoist). For stubborn marks use a damp cloth and a mild cleanser. Always read the manufacturers instructions prior to applying the cleanser. To prevent damage the hoist and handset must never be submerged in water.

Slings should be washed in accordance with the instructions on the label, sewn into the sling.
